Today is the first day I am attempting to have my green smoothie for breakfast (along with coffee and water), a salad/or similar for lunch and my hard boiled eggs and toast for dinner.

I have already cheated this morning because I had some bread and margarine left over at work, so I had 2 ½ pieces of light rye toast with my morning coffee. But, I have no bread left here, so tomorrow morning we’ll see if I can go the entire day until home-time without bread. That’s a HUGE feat for me as I would be perfectly happy eating bread/toast with/for every meal.

It’s 12:36pm and I’m still working on my smoothie (it is still, partially, a frozen clump-) and have made a salmon sandwich (leftover salmon from last night’s dinner) with lettuce and baby carrots on the side.

I’m going to take tomorrow’s smoothie out of the freezer tonight and put it in the fridge. Hopefully, that will mean that it will be ready to eat earlier tomorrow morning.

I haven’t weighed myself in a long time, so I might do that tomorrow morning and report back. I’m guessing I’m going to be around 272.

My goals for the rest of the day are: Drink more water, finish my carrots, finish my smoothie, have 2 hd boiled eggs and 2 pcs. Of toast with tea and water for dinner and, if I need another snack, let it be fruit/veg or 100 cals or less and finally, to do some form of a workout tonight. I feel like I need a really low-key kind of evening. Maybe 1 tv show with the husband, and then some quiet time (yoga, perhaps?) and an early night to bed.

Also, I haven’t had any chocolate yet today (despite intensely craving some for most of the morning). But, I have a homemade chocolate/peanut butter/pecan cookie waiting for me at home. So, that will also be happening tonight.

Goals, Loss, weight

I’m tired tonight. But, I’m determined to do my 10 minutes of exercise, or more. I have been swamped at work and, therefore, am finding myself sitting at my desk for hours on end, with little movement.
I need to move.
So, after we’ve watched The Amazing Race, I will be heading upstairs to do it.

Also, I weighed myself this morning and found that I was 270 lbs, not 275. So, I’m already 5 lbs down towards my goal.

Starting weight: 275 lbs

Height: 5”3

Goal Weight: 185 lbs

Current Weight: 270 lbs

Lbs Lost: 5 lbs

LBS to Lose: 85 lbs

Exercise Goal: 3x/week (for now)

Daily Calories: 1812

Veggie Servings: 6

Fruit Servings: 1

Water: 72 ounces

Chocolate: 1/Nutella on toast

Protein: 3 servings

Pop: 2 😦

Nutritional Goals (These will change depending on my progress, etc.):

Goal 1800 Calories/Day:

1 Serving Vegetables 1xDay:

1 Serving Fruit 1xDay

1 Serving Protein 1xDay

72 ounces Water/Daily

No Pop

1 Serving Chocolate/Day (at the most)
